As part of its continuing program to support customers from its new Regional Sales Offices (RSO), Harman Professional recently completed an internal technology and training program.

The Harman Professional Technology & Training Expo was held in Elkhart, IN in October and offered courses on selected Harman technologies, application-oriented case studies and third-party presentations.

According to Chris Vice, national training coordinator, Harman Professional, the exercise also provided RSO leadership with strong feedback on a range of issues.

“The RSO infrastructure was conceived and engineered to be a conduit to the market. Whereas that means engaging the market to provide customers and prospects with details of our technologies and solutions, the RSO conduit also equips Harman to listen more effectively and act with first-hand intelligence.” Vice states. “The HTTE served to train our people, hone our listening skills and reaffirm Harman’s market positioning and competitive advantages.” “It will certainly serve as a platform for our customer facing programs in the future.”

Mark Posgay, senior director, US sales, Harman Professional adds, “Training is fundamental to HARMAN’s contribution to both M.I. level products and systems integration for professional audio. We recognize the value that audio professionals bring to their craft and it’s incumbent upon us to provide them with depth and quality when it comes to the technology-based training we provide. This internal event will serve as a launch pad and template for public programs going forward.”
